Adopt Carro

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

It is in foster care. The police informed us that a cat had entered a family's home and they feared it might infect the child...He was in poor condition, with fur full of knots and tangles, and had a bad mouth which is why he wasn't grooming himself. He appears to be quite old and we are certain he has lived in a home, but we don't know the reason for his abandonment. He has already been neutered and vaccinated. His FELV-FIV test is negative. On December 14, 2021, his oral cleaning was performed and several teeth had to be extracted.

Está en casa de acogida. Nos avisó la policía de que un gato había entrado en casa de una familia y temían que contagiara a la niña...Tenía mal aspecto ya que presentaba el pelo lleno de nudos y enredado, tenia la boca fatal y por eso no se aseaba. Parece bastante mayor y es seguro que ha vivido en una casa y no sabemos el motivo de su abandono. Ya está castrado y vacunado. Test FELV-FIV negativo. 14 dic. 2021 Se le ha hecho limpieza de boca y ha sido necesario extraer varias piezas. 29-5-22 Carro acaba de volver de su última casa de acogida, está un poco molesto, volver al albergue no le ha hecho mucha gracia, iremos viendo como evoluciona Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Carro

What life with Carro looks like

Carro is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Carro, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carro?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ALBA Protectora Madrid handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Carro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carro if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ALBA Protectora Madrid will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Carro already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Carro isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with ALBA Protectora Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Carro and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
